Local Community Planning

Local Community Planning is about bringing services and the community together at a local level, in order to plan and deliver better services in that community, which make a positive difference to the lives of local residents. In Dundee, this is delivered through Local Community Planning Partnerships.

What is a Local Community Planning Partnership?

Local Community Planning Partnerships (LCPPs) have been established in each of the eight multi-members Wards in Dundee. The LCPP brings together local elected members, staff from across the public and voluntary sectors, and members of local communities. The LCPP meets at least four times per year and provides a local focus to the broader Dundee Partnership.

What does the Local Community Planning Partnership do?

The Local Community Planning Partnership (LCPP) oversees the development and delivery of a Local Community Plan for that part of Dundee. The Local Community Plan contains a series of priorities and actions that services and community organisations have agreed to take forward in order to improve the services that local residents need and rely on to ensure that local priorities are being addressed.

The LCPP also provides a platform for consultation and debate among services and community members. This allows LCPP members to discuss emerging issues or opportunities and agree actions to take these forward. Following the structure of the City Plan for Dundee, LCPPs may establish working groups to focus on a particular theme, or to deliver a particular project. Membership of the working groups is agreed by the LCPP and can change or evolve to suit.
